Serena Williams talks about postpartum depression in an emotional message posted online

Serena Williams posted an emotional message on her social media in which she spoke candidly about motherhood and touched on postpartum depression.

“Last week was not easy for me. Not only was I coming to terms with some difficult personal things, but I was just in a [sad] slump. Mostly, I felt that I was not a good mother, “begins by saying the professional tennis player, who had complications in the delivery of her baby, in her writing published on her Instagram account.

The athlete opened up about postpartum emotions. “I read several articles that said that postpartum emotions can last up to three years if left untreated. I prefer better communication. Talking things through with my mom, my sisters, and my friends let me know that my feelings are totally normal. It’s totally normal to feel like I’m not doing enough for my baby,” she said.

Willams indicated that because of his profession he works a lot, that he has been with his daughter every day. Although she was honest when she said no for as long as she wanted. “We have all been there. I work hard, I train, and I try to be the best athlete that I can be. However, that means that even though I’ve been with her every day of her life, I’m not around as much as I’d like to be. Most of you mothers deal with the same thing. Whether you’re staying at home or working outside, finding that balance with kids is a true art. You are the true heroines. I’m here to tell you: if you’re having a tough day or week, that’s okay, so am I! There is always a tomorrow!” he said.
